Richard 'Rick' Cook

December 20, 2024

With heavy hearts we share the peaceful passing of Rick on Friday, December 20, 2024 at Lakeridge Health Oshawa, at the age of 74, surrounded by his family, after a long and courageous battle with cancer.

Beloved husband of Joan for 45 wonderful years. Devoted father of Kim Cook (Bob Cudmore), Jennifer Kessell (Tanner), James Gainey, and Ricki-Anne. Cherished grandfather of Madison (Sam), Megan (Tristan), Callum, Brendan, and Curtis. Loving brother of Jim. Predeceased by his brother Allen. Rick will be sadly missed by his extended family and close friends, especially Ed and Lorraine.

Rick was a dedicated husband, father, and grandfather. His family meant the world to him and he was very proud of his children and grandchildren. His willingness to mentor and guide all those who he met throughout his life will be remembered by many.

A Celebration of Life will be held in March 2025, details to be confirmed.

As an expression of sympathy, memorial donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society. Online condolences may be shared at Armstrong Funeral Home.
